I have this set of heavy duty tilting ramps for sale. They are very substantial, well thought out and give good access under the car. I really dont want to sell these but unfortunately they are too big for my garage and with them set up I can not get access to my work bench and tools.
They work in a similar fashion to restoration ramps, but have the advantage of not needing to jack them up and the angle seems shallower. They consist of a pivot and a set of dampers. As you drive up the ramps and past the pivot point they will slowly rotate to the level position, at which point the rear supports are put in place to stop them moving. There are a set of smaller dampers at the back that control the decent when driving the car off. One of these will need topping up with oil. There are two adjustable tie rods to keep the ramps together. It also comes with an attachment that fits perpendicular to the ramps and rests on top. It form a platform that can be used to jack up and support the car on axle stands at one end (consists of two angle iron bars and two platforms although only one is shown in the photos). Condition is very good with only light surface rust on some of the parts. They will need M12 bolts and nuts for attaching the damps to ramps. I have replaced the axle for one the ramps but this will need finishing (requires a plate welding on the end and an M20 nut and washer). They are rated at 2 tones for the pair. The instruction manual is included but it is fairly strait forward. They will fit in an estate car with front seat down to accommodate the ramp sections which are in two parts bolted together. They are made of thick gauge steel so weigh quite a bit.
Here is the specification taken from the instructions.
All welded construction from hot-rolled steel angle, finished in metallic blue.
